Happiness is a Fuchsia Basket

Yesterday was the annual Fuchsia Day at Fred Meyer, where you can buy five fuchsia starts for $3. This is awesome because they plant them for you, and provide the potting soil for free! So I end up getting my three fuchsia baskets all ready for the season for a grand total of nine dollars!

But since I was at work, my next-door-neighbor Chris ran this errand for me!

And here are the baskets in all their shade-loving glory:

And a close up shot for all you Cecille D. DeMille fans:

Because they’re planted nice and early in the season, they’ll be all lush and drapey by the time they’re blooming.
